One time I went on a trip with friends and we thought it was a good idea to buy a bunch of bagels that we could make sandwiches out of (more of a me thing) or just eat with cream cheese (one of my friends). So she bought a little container of cream cheese from the bagel place and we had it in the cooler. In the hotel though she took it out, left it out all night, and had it the next morning. She must have a stomach of steel!
